The 2026 men's college basketball coaching carousel is in full swing with over 20 jobs already announcing changes, including four power-conference positions. Schools are moving quickly as seasons end, though low- and mid-major programs are largely sticking with their current coaches. Industry sources suggest more power-conference jobs than usual are hovering around a 50-50 chance of turning into openings.

Boston College has multiple candidates including Merrimack's Joe Gallo and Colgate's Matt Langel. Georgia Tech is focused on Belmont's Casey Alexander and Troy's Scott Cross. Kansas State appears furthest along, with Utah State's Jerrod Calhoun considered the favorite to replace Jerome Tang. Providence is expected to part ways with Kim English.

Potential openings include Arizona State with Bobby Hurley's departure likely, Pittsburgh weighing Jeff Capel's future despite his guaranteed contract, and Cincinnati evaluating Wes Miller's status. Syracuse likely ended the Red Autry era following their ACC tournament exit. Memphis, Butler, LSU, and Oklahoma face decisions this week after tournament performances.
